35
Prophecy Directed at Edom
1And the word of Yahweh came#Literally “was” to me, saying,#Literally “to say” 2“Son of man,#Or “mortal,” or “son of humankind” set your face against the mountain of Seir and prophesy against it, 3and you must say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Look! I am against you, mountain of Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and a wasteland. 4Your cities I will make ruins, and you will be a desolation, and then you will know that I am Yahweh, 5because there has been to you an ancient hostility,#Literally “enmity of eternity” and you handed over the Israelites#Literally “sons/children of Israel” to the power of the sword at the time of their disaster, at the time of their final punishment.#Literally “the time of punishment of end” 6Therefore as I live,”#Literally “live I” declares#Literally “declaration of” the Lord Yahweh, “Certainly to blood guilt I will prepare you and blood#Or “blood vengeance” will pursue; since#Literally “if not” you did not hate blood,#Literally “not blood you hated” it will pursue you. 7And I will make the mountain of Seir into a desolation and ruin, and I will cut off from it both he who is crossing over and he who is returning. 8And I will fill its mountains with its slain; your hills and your valleys and all of your watercourses, the slain by the sword will fall in them. 9An everlasting desolation#Literally “of eternity/endless ages” I will make you, and your cities will not return, and you will know that I am Yahweh. 10I do this because of your saying,#Or “thinking” ‘The two nations and the two lands, they will be mine,#Literally “to me” and we will take possession of it,’ and yet Yahweh was there. 11Therefore, as I live,”#Literally “live I” declares#Literally “declaration of” the Lord Yahweh, “so I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your jealousy that you did,#Or “showed” or “acted on” because of your hatred against them, and I will make myself known among them when I judge you. 12And you will know that I, Yahweh, I have heard all of your contemptible words that you said#Or “spoke” against the mountains of Israel, saying,#Literally “to say” ‘They will be desolate; they are given to us as food.’ 13And you magnified yourself against me with your insolent speech,#Literally “with your mouth” and you spoke voluminously against me with your words—I heard! 14Thus the Lord Yahweh says, ‘As the whole world rejoices,#Literally “as/like the rejoicing of all of the world” I will make you a desolation. 15Like your rejoicing over the inheritance of the house of Israel#Literally “as/like rejoicing your for the inheritance of the house of Israel” because#Literally “because that” it was desolate, I will do to you; you will be a desolation, mountain of Seir and all of Edom, indeed all of it; and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ” ’
